Looking to change my Avensis...
Hi I'm currently driving an avensis [04] petrol, I'm thinking to change for a 10 avensis diesel or honda civic, mondeo or focus, reason for change road tax too expensive, any advise thank you
Our answer:
Hi Margaret,
Personally, I’d go for the Honda Civic. It’s hugely roomy, which makes stepping down from the Avensis a little less painful, and with the 1.6 i-DTEC diesel it’s very frugal too. Plus, as ever, Hondas are hugely reliable and long-lived.
